FIDIC’s 2017 vs FIDIC’s 1999 ConditionsFIDIC’s standard forms are immensely popular in many parts of the world. To what extent are the 2017 conditions an improvement upon the 1999 conditions? To what extent are they a step backwards?

1040 – 1140

Defects liability periods (and the like): what are the pitfalls? Construction contracts often provide for contractors to have the duty and the right to correct defects for a specified period after completion. However, difficulties arise as to the parties’ duties and rights during that period – as well as what their duties and rights are after that period. The panel will discuss these difficulties from international perspectives and will present for discussion with delegates a checklist to help those who draft (and those who bring claims under) construction contracts.

Panel ChairZiya Akinci Akinci Law Office, Istanbul

PanellistsUlrich Hagel Bombardier Transportation, Berlin Ahmed Ibrahim Fenwick Elliott, Dubai Spring Tan Withers KhattarWong, Singapore

1140 – 1300

Smart contracts: how might technology disruption change construction contracts as we know them?Technology disruption is affecting construction methods and practices. It is also set to impact how construction contracts are drafted, and how issues under them are addressed. This panel will describe what is already happening and what else may happen in the future.

The importance of the applicable law. How far do lawyers from civil law and common law backgrounds view the same construction law issues differently?Following the popularity of this session at the previous edition of this conference, delegates and panellists will work through a new case study explaining how they view the same construction law issues. This interactive case study will seek to highlight issues that are particularly affected by the applicable law.

Hardship laws in times of uncertainty: when might contractors successfully rely upon such laws?Many legal systems provide for construction contracts to be altered when unexpected circumstances place undue hardship on the contractor or significantly alter the economic equilibrium of the contract. Panellists will discuss lessons from cases where relief against hardship was granted – and therefore when parties to construction contracts might expect relief where hardship laws apply.

1650 – 1750

The (in)applicability of liquidated damages for delay and the relevant factors that drive their reduction in many jurisdictionsLiquidated damages provisions should give parties certainty as to the compensation payable when the completion of a project is delayed. Panellists and delegates will discuss common scenarios, including whether liquidated damages apply if a contract is terminated and when an extension of time is denied owing to non-compliance with a time bar provision. The different answers obtained under different applicable laws will be explored.

The IBA Rules v the Prague Rules in construction arbitrationsThe IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration have been around since 1999. They are said to reflect common law practices. The “Prague” Rules on the Efficient Conduct of Proceedings in International Arbitration were issued in December 2018. They are said to offer a more civil law based alternative to the IBA Rules. This debate will consider the advantages and disadvantages for construction arbitrations of the IBA Rules versus the Prague Rules.

Arbitrator selection: ethics and considerationsWhat should be considered when selecting tribunal members for construction arbitrations? The panel will present for discussion with delegates a checklist to assist users of construction arbitration.

1140 – 1300

Prospective v retrospective assessments under construction contractsIt is said that assessing extensions of time and additional payments on a prospective basis favours contractors, while assessing them on a retrospective basis favours employers. The panel will consider the extent to which this is true and, where there is a choice between the two, which is to be preferred by the deciders of disputes.

If any deductions or withholdings are required by law to be made from any fees payable to us by you under the terms contained in this ‘Information’ section you shall pay such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave us with the same amount as we would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

If we obtain the benefit of any tax credit or other relief by reference to any such deductions or withholdings, then we shall repay to you such amount as, after such repayment has been made, will leave us in no worse position than we would have been had no such deductions or withholdings been required.

Conference sell-outsThe IBA places its conferences in venues of a suitable size for each event; however, there are times when our conferences may sell out. Should this happen, prospective delegates will be informed and a waiting list will operate. The waiting list will function on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, subject to receiving registered delegate cancellations. The waiting list for a conference will close once it has reached 10% of the conference venue capacity, as it is very unlikely a place will become available. The IBA will not be liable for any travel or accommodation expenses incurred by an individual who travels to a conference without a confirmed place at the event.

Cancellation of registration or social functionsIf cancellation is received in writing at the IBA office by 4 October 2019, fees will be refunded less a 25 per cent administration charge. Refunds will be made minus any monies owed to the IBA.We regret that no refunds can be made after this date. Registrations or social function bookings received after 4 October 2019 will not be eligible for any refund of fees. Please note that NO exception will be made to this policy. Should you have difficulties in obtaining your visa and are not able to attend the Conference this cancellation policy will still apply.

Upon submission of your completed Conference registration form to the IBA you are considered ‘registered’ pending payment. Please note that the cancellation terms and conditions as indicated will apply as soon as your registration is received.

Provided you have cancelled your registration to attend an IBA conference in accordance with the terms of the ‘cancellation of registration’ clause included in the ‘Information’ section of the relevant conference programme, you must then confirm to us in writing at the IBA office as soon as possible, but in no event later than one year (12 calendar months) from the date of any such conference, all necessary details to enable any reimbursement owed to you to be paid. We regret that no refunds will be made after the date that is one year (12 calendar months) after the date of the relevant conference.

Travel arrangements and visasParticipants are responsible for making their own travel arrangements. It is recommended that you check your visa requirements with your local embassy or consulate. We are unable to dispatch visa invitation letters to support your visa application prior to receipt of your registration form and full payment of registration fees.

Please apply for your visa in good time.

Unauthorised accommodation agentsIt has been brought to our attention that there are multiple companies contacting past attendees, claiming to represent the IBA, offering ‘assistance’ with registration and hotel bookings.They are operating by cold-calling and spamming companies whose names have appeared on previous List of Participants, Programmes and Sponsorship recognition.

The IBA influences the development of international law reform and shapes the future of the legal profession throughout the world. It has a membership of more than 80,000 individual lawyers and more than 190 bar associations and law societies spanning over 170 countries.

Inspired by the vision of the United Nations, the IBA was founded in the same spirit, just before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed in 1948.

The IBA covers all practice areas and professional interests, providing members with access to leading experts and up-to-date information, enabling them to better represent their clients’ interests.

Through its various committees, fora and task forces, the IBA facilitates the exchange of information and views among its members as to laws, practices and professional responsibilities relating to the practice of law around the globe.
